However, after seeing Bale in action in the last half hour of Wales’ 3-0 World Cup qualification defeat to Serbia in Cardiff last night Colman insists he is nowhere near ready to complete a full match.

Coleman said; ‘We have looked at him in these ten days and he is nowhere near ready for 90 minutes, even if Spanish football is slower.

‘If he starts Saturday, he will not finish the game. I would be amazed if he does.

‘He may get 45 minutes, I don’t know, but he will feel better in himself after 30 minutes here.

‘But he has only had four training sessions in two months which is dangerous..’
